My personal experience was that the activating effect cut in predictably after 3 days - very fast for an A/D. As a previous poster said, the full benefits may take a month or more. I couldn't continue with it as it made me too anxious and insomniac -even hypomanic at the "usual" full dose. My MD had to add benzos and sleeping pills (Imovane/zopiclone) which I am still on.

It sure FEELS like a dopamine booster to me, but maybe I wasn't on it long enough (2 months if I remember correctly) for the dopamine deactivating effect to start.
